Hi everyone. My name is Cam, I'm 19 (20 in 2 weeks) and I am in the process of restomodding a series 2 240z with an R32 RB26. I have always been into cars as a baby, JDM since 6, GT-R's, Z cars and Nissan in general since elementary. I fell in love with the S30 after watching Wangan Midnight and thought about building my own replica. But then I thought some of the parts required would be hard to find and not practical so one friend suggested an RB swap and to build MY own vision. So I did my research and so far I have a list of things I wanna do as a set plan. Here to learn, get information and feedback on my build. :)     (P.S. bottom 4 images are along the lines of what my vision for my Angel Z to look like 😋)

Leave the engine swap til the very end.

 

Do literally everything else first. 

 

Start squirreling away money right now as often as you can. If you can get that done for less then 20k, you've got connections to shops and suppliers that most people don't.

 

Make a spreadsheet with as many parts as you can list that you'll need for everything, they all add up. Try and include links to them when you find them so you can actually buy them when you get the money.

 

If you havn't done so already, I highly recommend taking a body restoration class for a local community college or something.

 

Other then that, good luck!
